Chapter 433: Suspicion (1)
Qiu Peng had an ominous premonition in his heart, the girl he saw in Buxie Huatai that day
"What's the matter? put it away quickly, don't let people see it!" Lin Xue said as she looked around nervously, for fear of being discovered, but she didn't notice the strangeness on Qiu Peng's face at all.
Seeing Qiu Peng cherishing the sachet into his arms, Lin Xue nodded with satisfaction and smiled from the bottom of her heart again.
Qiu Peng stared at Lin Xue.
She is still the big-grinning, straightforward and cheerful girl she used to be.
The girl never forgot the frail and sickly boy.
She has always been the same Lin Xue as before, and she was too worried in the past.
Lin Xue was embarrassed by Qiu Peng, glanced at Qiu Peng, lowered her head again, and muttered in a almost inaudible voice: "What are you looking at." β
Raising her head, she found that Qiu Peng was still staring at her, Lin Xue felt that Qiu Peng's eyes seemed to have infinite magic, making her whole body hot, and her heart was pounding like a little rabbit, she was worried that if she didn't leave immediately, her heart would probably jump out of her throat
"I'll go back first, you won't be back until a quarter of an hour later!" Lin Xue gestured with her hand: "You must come back in a quarter of an hour!"
Qiu Peng couldn't help laughing: "We came out together, what's the use of not going back together?"
"That's right!" Lin Xue suddenly frowned.
Qiu Peng smiled: "Okay, I still have some things to go to the mercenary guild, you go back first." β
"Hmm. Lin Xue agreed softly, and whispered, "You have to be careful." β
Qiu Peng made a gesture that there was no problem and strode out.
Lin Xue leaned against the wall, and watched Qiu Peng's back fade away with confused eyes, and finally disappeared. Her face was filled with a happy smile.
A girl with spring is always the most beautiful and wonderful song in the world.
It is evocative, addictive, and longing.
"What, two catties of eggs? What do you think we are in this place, so many people, how can two catties of eggs a day be enough?"
"I said I wanted to meet Master Wen. In the next star and moon Li Zixuan. β
"Oh, twenty pounds. Well, twenty pounds is not enough. Think about it, there are dozens of people in our house, and each person eats two a day, so how much is that?"
Qiu Peng looked at the old man in front of him with straight eyes, he had been entangled with this Wen servant with a bad ear at the door for a long time.
The old man was dumb and often sprayed Qiu Peng's face with spittle when he spoke, Qiu Peng was very strange, the old man said that he would not be thirsty for such a long time, he could even feel that the pedestrians on the street were pointing in this direction.
Perhaps, they have a lot of topics to talk about in the evening! Qiu Peng suddenly felt like a clown here.
Qiu Peng decided to come again next time, and was just about to turn around, but Dumb grabbed his arm, Qiu Peng was startled, and said with a sad face: "Uncle, can I not sell it?" β
Dumb cleared his throat and continued: "Okay, in fact, it's not impossible to buy your eggs, the main reason is that the young master likes to eat duck eggs these days." If you can convince the young master, in fact, I have no opinion. β
Qiu Peng hurriedly asked, "Then where is the young master?"
Dumb frowned, as if he was thinking hard, and then said hesitantly: "The young master seems to have gone to No. 56 Dongbi Street to play cards, maybe you can go there to find him." β
Dumb let go of his hand, Qiu Peng hurriedly jumped away, turned his head and was about to leave, when he heard Dumb shouting again from behind: "Young man." β
"Huh?" Qiu Peng turned his head in confusion, but his feet did not stop, and he took two more steps forward.
"You're very good!" Dumb's muttering voice was just enough to be heard by Qiu Peng, Qiu Peng was stunned, Dumb smiled and squeezed his eyes, and closed the door.
Qiu Peng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, this terrible old man doesn't look simple.
He originally took Uncle Dumb's last words as the wind in his ears, but now he has changed his mind and plans to go and see it.
Dongbi Street is already close to the suburbs, and No. 56 is a dilapidated courtyard that is very inconspicuous.
Qiu Peng stepped forward and knocked on the door, a middle-aged man opened the door, Qiu Peng said: "In Xia Li Zixuan, come to find Lord Wen." β
The man looked at Qiu Peng twice and said, "You come with me." β
The yard was deep, but quite elegant, and they walked for a long time along the stone-paved path, which was surrounded by trees and flowers, and they did not feel the smell of winter at all.
Before the two came to a wooden house, the middle-aged man whispered, "Lord Li is here." β
"Come in!" Wen Baoliang's voice came from inside.
The middle-aged man opened the door, let Qiu Peng in, and then closed the door without following up.
The interior of the room is quite peculiarly furnished, with wooden tables, rattan chairs, bamboo cups, green tea, and other things made of plants.
In addition to Wen Baoliang, there was also an old man in the room who had never been seen before. He was as white as snow, but his face was ruddy, his spirit was strong, he couldn't tell his age, and he casually wore a green robe.
Wen Baoliang turned his head and smiled at Qiu Peng, pointed casually, and said, "Xiaoli, sit." We've been waiting for you for a long time. β
Qiu Peng said embarrassedly: "Actually, I went to look for you a long time ago, but I chatted with Uncle Ah Xiu in the house for a while. β
Hearing dumb, the old man also laughed.
Wen Baoliang introduced: "This is the only remaining Grand Master in the Life Research Association, the Qingteng Grandmaster. β
Qiu Peng hurriedly stood up and saluted, and the Qingteng Sect Master nodded with a smile and said, "Sit down and talk." I would like to invite Lord Li to come today, and I would like to ask you about some things. β
Qiu Peng hurriedly said, "It's okay to call me Xiaoli." I don't know what's going on?"
"Lao Sun has already said about the Life Research Association, but there is one more thing, I'm afraid you don't know. Grandmaster Qingteng paused, "The day before yesterday, we went to the Life Stone again. Discoveryβ" he swallowed, "we can no longer sense the life essence in the Life Stone. β
Qiu Peng was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Grandmaster Qingteng explained, "In other words, the Stone of Life has become an ordinary stone. β
Wen Baoliang looked at Qiu Peng and said, "We suspect that all the life essence has been transferred to you and that girl. β
Qiu Peng asked, "Could it be that the Stone of Life is closed again?"
"No way. Wen Baoliang said categorically: "The stone of life has been smashed by my palm. β
"You??" Qiu Peng looked at Wen Baoliang's candle-like body with a look of surprise.
"What, don't you believe it?" Wen Baoliang's eyes narrowed, "I want to think about the past."
As soon as Qiu Peng heard the words "I want to be back then", he immediately shuddered, and hurriedly said: "I believe, of course I believe, Lord Wen was definitely a good man forty years ago. β
"It's good to know. Wen Baoliang took a sip of hot tea.
Qiu Peng actually believed eighty percent in his heart.
At that time, Siyu was no longer breathing, and he was seriously injured, but later Siyu not only did not die, but like himself, his whole body was intact, and there were no scars left.
I had been puzzled for a long time, but I could get the answer as soon as I explained it with the essence of life.
Grandmaster Qingteng said, "We have an idea. If all the life essence is in your body, maybe the Life Research Association can communicate with you through guΓ² to obtain the life essence to advance. We want to do a test. β
"Wouldn't it be dangerous?" Qiu Peng was confused.
Wen Baoliang said lightly: "It's safe." If you succeed, not only can you become the leader of the Life Research Society, but you can truly become the head of the Four Sects and Eighteen Ranks, not an agent. β
"I'm afraid that the graduate students of life don't add up to a dozen of these old foxes who know how to write checks indiscriminately. Qiu Peng muttered quietly.
"What did you say?" asked the Grandmaster Qingteng nervously.
"I mean, I can test it with you. How to measure it?" Qiu Peng said in a hesitant tone.
Grandmaster Qingteng breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to him and said, "Let's shake hands and let me sense the life essence in your body, don't worry, it'll be fine." β
